Which items are included in authentic work (artifacts) submitted for edTPA?

• A. Only student test scores
• B. Lesson plans, instructional materials, video clips of teaching, and student work samples
• C. Only teacher reflections
• D. A list of classroom rules

Answer: (B)

This item tests what counts as authentic work artifacts for edTPA. Authentic work in this context means real classroom products that show planning, teaching, and evidence of student learning. The collection that includes lesson plans, the instructional materials used, video clips of the teaching, and samples of student work provides a complete picture: you can see what you planned, how instruction actually unfolded, and how students demonstrated understanding. The other options don’t fit because a sole focus on student test scores doesn’t reveal the teaching process, relying only on teacher reflections doesn’t show enacted practice or student outcomes, and a list of classroom rules doesn’t demonstrate planning, instruction, or student learning.
